Caesar Celts

For this batch of Caesar Celts I tried the 'Games Workshop' method for the first time, with a primer coat, base layer, lighter layer, wash and highlights. I was really pleased with the result, even if it does take a long time!

The Age of the Orc has Begun....

Dark Alliance Orcs

The Saxon Shore

I really like Emhar's Saxons. Crisp and dynamic figures and a lot of fun to paint (which is the main thing.)

Celtic Twilight

Italeri Celts.

The Dead Walk Forth

Deep in the heart of his fiery lair the Red King brooded. Calling upon the power of his court druid he watched as the awful ritual began.

From the underworld dead warriors arose, their rusted swords clasped in their pale dead hands.

Clown Prince of Crime

A nasty gang of characters have turned up in town.

Who could be behind this?

Who else but the Clown Prince of Crime himself.

Figures: Caesar Modern Urban Resisters

Cú Chulainn battles Queen Medb

My inspiration for this post comes from the magnificent image above which I found in Belfast City Hall.

"At the age of seventeen he defended Ulster single-handedly against the armies of queen Medb of Connacht in the epic Táin Bó Cúailnge ("Cattle Raid of Cooley"). It was prophesied that his great deeds would give him everlasting fame, but that his life would be a short one. For this reason he is compared to the Greek hero Achilles. He is known for his terrifying battle frenzy, or ríastrad (translated by Thomas Kinsella as "warp spasm" and by Ciaran Carson as "torque), in which he becomes an unrecognisable monster who knows neither friend nor foe" From wikipedia 

Figures are HaT's Gallic Chariot with Warrior Queen, Caesar Fantasy Adventurers, HaT Ancient Germans and Airfix Ancient Britons.
